I have stayed here several times and it is just as inviting and welcoming each time! The location is wonderful, the view is amazing, and it offers a very private house and yard with a charming atmosphere. Amy, the agent, is great at communicating & always makes me feel at home. Summerland is a cute, quaint town and is very close to Montecito and Santa Barbara. I have family in Santa Barbara and I hope to continue to stay at this property many more times in the future.

This was such a perfect, relaxing, casual vibe for our 3-day weekend. There is a roomy living room and a kitchen that is stocked with pretty much everything you would need. The backyard is a great place to hang out and the ocean view out the front window was so peaceful. This cottage is also walkable within 3-5 minutes to coffee shops, bookstore, boutiques and restaurants. Super cute town and we would stay there again.

Lillie’s was a wonderful stay for my friend and I who were in town from LA & AZ , for a wedding. It has incredible views of the ocean and landscape. The house is decorated really unique and gives the surf bungalow feel. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved staying at this cute cottage. The only bummer was that we didn’t get to hang out at the property for extended time due to being in town for a lacrosse tournament, but would love to go back. The coffee shop down the street has GREAT coffee and the bookstore “Godmothers” is the coziest I’ve ever been to.

Great location, we were able to walk to town and to a small beach. It was still close enough to easily drive to Santa Barbra “Funk Zone” and State Street. We came for a wedding so really didn’t spend much time at the house, but we plan to come back again soon!

Girls' weekend

The location was excellent. The town of Summerland had wonderful food and shopping experiences. We all loved the little market and Godmother's bookstore. The location was a short drive to the wharf and beaches. Highly recommend a stay at this cute cottage.
